The most brilliant bookshops in the world pieced together using shelving scavenged from Santorini’s beaches and junkyards, and books left behind in various hotels by travellers .......... Founded in 1879, Blackwell’s has been selling books to Oxford students and residents since the first lightbulb was invented. The flagship store, which is set over four floors of a grand 18th-century building on historic Broad Street, began as an academic retailer, and has sold university reading materials to everyone from Margaret Thatcher to JRR Tolkien .......... remembers standing in the middle of the travel section and “suddenly being surrounded by Secret Service men”, before realising that Bill Clinton was strolling around the shop, reliving his days as an Oxford student ......... Other notable names in the visitor’s book include Mikhail Gorbachev, Muhammad Ali and David Attenborough. ............. the shop is also part record store, part café, part community space and, during the pandemic, an intimate performance venue for Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage, whose performances were broadcast around the world by New York Public Radio ..........
Kitab Khana, Mumbai
............. stocks an intriguing variety of Indian and international authors, including collections in languages such as Hindi and Marathi, with staff on hand to provide guidance and cosy nooks in which to read ....... https://kitabkhana.in/ ....... Powell’s Portland eventually became the HQ, and now lays claim to the title of “largest independent new and used bookstore in the world”, housing 1m titles. Its founding USP – used and new, hardcover and paperback all on the same shelf – is still somewhat unusual today. Alongside the exhaustive edit of books, Powell’s boasts an own-brand range of gifts, including a unisex fragrance, Powell’s By Powell’s, which uses musky notes of violet, wood and biblichor to evoke the scent of a bookshop.......... (H)afrocentric: Volumes 1-4 ($20), a comic-book series tackling gentrification, racism and police violence. ......... Most charming of all, the shop still runs its “tumbleweed” policy, which founder George Whitman began when he reopened the shop in 1951, allowing writers, artists and intellectuals seeking refuge to live on the premises – literally sleeping among the shelves – on the condition that they work a few hours a day in the shop, and “write a single-page autobiography for George’s archives”. .......... Founded in 1927 in an area of the city then known as “book row”, the Strand is a must-visit for book lovers in NYC. Located in a historic building and still family owned, the Strand is the city’s ultimate destination for new, used and rare books – more than 18 miles of them – plus literary gifts and goods. ......... As they put it, you won’t “bang your head on advertising posters or stumble across stacks of bestsellers as soon as you walk in the door”. ......... you can sip an Old Fashioned at the bar in its library space, which is lined with a huge collection of vintage Japanese and American magazines, to add a touch of midcentury glamour.FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST
